Orphaned references in Quran

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Quran's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Robinson":

  • From Jihad: B.A. Robinson (28 March 2003). "The Concept of Jihad ("Struggle") in Islam". Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance. Retrieved 16 August 2006.
  • From Arabesque: Robinson, Francis (1996). The Cambridge Illustrated History of the Islamic World. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-0-521-66993-1.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT 08:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Compilation and Preservation" section there is an error. "PERSIA" is writen as "PERISA".

This is the block: " Around the 650s, the Islamic expansion beyond the Arabian Peninsula and into Perisa " Jeovex (talk) 05:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Media added

[edit]

I added a media at it's proper position why removing it? Ibrahimmusa4 (talk) 07:02, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Assalamualaykum @Ibrahimmusa4: I kindly ask you not to add the recitations you've been adding to the page as these recitations obviously do not have a consensus/agreement to be added, as they've been removed by another user as well.
Firstly, the murattal recitation you've added is not only irrelevant to the article, but contains a major tilawat error that would render it inappropriate to add & is a violation of the obligatory rules of tajweed (pronouncing the هُ as a "khaa" (خ)).
Secondly, there is no reason to add another mujawwad recitation of Al-Fatiha to the article. You've already added it to Mujawwad, and I would believe that should be removed as well since there's already a recitation in place that is more widely used, but I've left it as is because at least there is a connection between the mp3 and the article. There is none to be seen here in this page.
Barakallahu feek & may God accept from you. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:33, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. I love your dua, Thanks Ibrahimmusa4 (talk) 18:01, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Birmingham description

[edit]

The caption under the lead infobox image describes the Birmingham Manuscript as being likely dated to pre-645. But based on the article on this manuscript, its dating has now been called into question. Can we change the lead image to the Codex Mashhad, another early Hejazi manuscript with less controversy on dating? Zoozoor (talk) 23:27, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The second paragraph in the "Contents > As a source of law and judgment" section has several problems.

First, "hadd crimes" should be "hudud crimes", as it's a plural.

Second, "continued until the last century" is ambiguous, especially as the note attached to it is about the 10th century. It means the 20th century, but without context it could be referring to "the last century" of something. This should be changed to "continued until the 20th century"

The rest of that sentence simply doesn't make sense grammatically, lacks citations, only mentions the minority Shi'i tradition which is misleading, and is out of scope in a page about the Quran.

My suggestion for this is: "The widespread use of slavery in the Islamic world continued until the 20th century,[note 5] including the sexual use of female slaves, which is permitted in the Quran. Although modern interpretations largely view slavery as a historical rather than religious necessity, these views differ from historical practices, which classical jurists justified using Quranic passages.[citation needed]"

This corrects the grammar, keeps the points focused and relevant to the Quran, removes the irrelevant note 6, and mentions the need for citation. Bragison8 (talk) 17:27, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
